Your Child NEEDS the HPV Vaccine: 13 Reasons Why the CDC Is Right

By Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D.

Does your child need the HPV vaccine to protect her against the human papillomavirus?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say a resounding “Yes!”

Your child NEEDS the HPV/Gardasil vaccine.

Gardasil is recommended by the CDC for all children between the ages of 11 and 12 years old.

Your child will need two shots, given six to twelve months apart.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of over 150 viruses. Some types can cause genital warts. Others can lead to cervical and other kinds of cancer.

You don’t want your precious baby to get genital warts, do you?

You don’t want your kid to die from cancer, do you?

You’re not a heartless baby killer, after all. Or are you?

C’mon, this vaccine is a no-brainer. In fact, anyone who even considers telling a parent that there are pros and cons to the HPV vaccine is committing a “hanging offense,” to borrow a turn of phrase from the Boston Herald’s Rachelle Cohen. (We loved your editorial, by the way. Thumbs up, Rachelle!)

And, since we seem to be going into the business of hanging medical freedom and children’s health advocates, perhaps we ought also to hang any parents who choose to forgo the HPV vaccine?

And while, we’re at it, how about the children who say, “No, thank you,” to the HPV vaccine themselves? We could hang them too.

In case what you’ve already read is not enough to convince you that your child NEEDS the HPV vaccine RIGHT NOW WITH NO FURTHER DELAY, here are 13 more reasons the CDC is right and your child should get the Gardasil vaccine.

13 Reasons Why The CDC is Right and Your Child Needs the HPV Vaccine

You don’t care that the HPV vaccine program was halted in Japan.

The Japanese government stopped giving the Gardasil vaccine in 2013 after health officials recorded nearly 2,000 adverse reactions, according to the Tokyo Times.

The thousands of parents who belong to this non-profit, the parents who followed their doctor’s orders and got the “cervical cancer jab,” as they like to call it in the U.K.? Whatever! They’re ALL full of baloney and making things up. Every single one of them. And so is every family interviewed for this article in The Independent…

They’ve got almost 15,500 followers on their Facebook page, thousands of whom are the parents of tweens and teens who have had severe side effects post-HPV vaccination, including joint and muscle pain, chronic headaches, and chronic fatigue. Ah, the luck of the Irish. They’re all full of baloney and making things up. Every single one of them. (See #4.) And who cares that the well known, well respected, definitely-not-a-hysteric Irish philanthropist Jonathan Irwin has just stepped down as the CEO of The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation because of his daughter’s lack of mobility, back pain, headaches, nausea, and ill health since Gardasil vaccination (as he tweeted on May 3 and explains in this recent interview)?

You’re not interested in the Danish documentary film that details the severe adverse events following the HPV vaccine experienced by young women in Denmark.

Hmmm. There seems to be a global pattern here, of severe adverse reactions. Yeah, right. So what that hundreds of thousands of families around the world are experiencing the SAME PROBLEMS post HPV vaccination? We give MILLIONS OF DOSES of this vaccine. And all the families interviewed in this film? Probably full of baloney and making things up (see #3, #4, and #5). Because, of course, Danes are known for their dishonesty.

You’ve never heard of Dr. Diane Harper.

The MIT and Stanford educated medical doctor who also has a Master’s Degree in Public Health? The one who is a vaccine developer and has worked for Merck, the manufacturers of the Gardasil vaccine? Dr. Harper has repeatedly spoken out against the HPV vaccine and raised serious concerns about whether it is safe. As reported by CBS News in 2009:

Amid questions about the safety of the HPV vaccine Gardasil one of the lead researchers for the Merck drug is speaking out about its risks, benefits and aggressive marketing.

Dr. Diane Harper says young girls and their parents should receive more complete warnings before receiving the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. Dr. Harper helped design and carry out the Phase II and Phase III safety and effectiveness studies to get Gardasil approved, and authored many of the published, scholarly papers about it. She has been a paid speaker and consultant to Merck. It’s highly unusual for a researcher to publicly criticize a medicine or vaccine she helped get approved.

Dr. Harper joins a number of consumer watchdogs, vaccine safety advocates, and parents who question the vaccine’s risk-versus-benefit profile. She says data available for Gardasil shows that it lasts five years; there is no data showing that it remains effective beyond five years.

[Our emphasis. Text highlighted in bold is the part you should ignore.]

You don’t believe in or practice preventative medicine. Not for yourself. Not for your kids.

Pap tests detect the presence of HPV. If pre-cancer HPV is detected, most kinds can be easily treated. According to the American Cancer Society:

A well-proven way to prevent cervical cancer is to have testing (screening) to find pre-cancers before they can turn into invasive cancer. The Pap test (or Pap smear) and the human papilloma virus (HPV) test are used for this. If a pre-cancer is found it can be treated, stopping cervical cancer before it really starts. Most invasive cervical cancers are found in women who have not had regular Pap tests.

Since your kid isn’t going to go for that preventative medicine and pap smear nonsense, you’ll be first in line at the doctor’s office to have her get the HPV vaccine.

You’ve never heard of the microbiome.

HPV is a common virus, which nearly 80 million Americans carry in our bodies. Our bodies, incidentally, are full of microbes—bacteria and viruses that live in us and on us. These microbes play a crucial part in our health and our immunity, as scientists have recently uncovered. There’s more we don’t know about how we live in symbiosis with microbes. But you’ve never heard of the microbiome and you’re not keeping up with the current science. Germs will be germs. It’s never crossed your mind that there may be benefits to cohabitating with viruses and bacteria and that wiping out a virus we have co-evolved to live with may not actually be a good idea. Bring on the vaccine. (And the severe auto-immune reactions and primary ovarian failure that sometimes go along with it.)

You don’t believe the CDC when they point out that most people with HPV never develop ANY symptoms or health problems.

Since you think it seems like a fabulicious idea to vaccinate against a virus over 80 million of us carry (see #9), who cares that HPV is also harmless in the vast majority of cases? Bring on the unnecessary vaccines! And let’s develop one for the common cold while we’re at it.

You don’t care that HPV will not cause cancer on its own and that most HPV infections (9 out of 10) go away by themselves within two years.

Turns out that HPV doesn’t cause cancer on its own, at least according to this international team of distinguished researchers …

“Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary but not sufficient for the development of cervical cancer. The factors promoting persistence as well those triggering carcinogenic pathways are incompletely understood,” according to peer-reviewed science anyway.

And we know that at least 90 percent of HPV infections clear up by themselves and never cause any health concerns (see #10)? So OF COURSE we should vaccinate! Because vaccines are safe, effective, and oh so necessary. Always. Except when they’re not.

You believe doctors should promote vaccines for children after being wined and dined by the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and profit from the vaccines.

Chances are your doctor has not ever read a vaccine insert. Your doctor received almost no training on safety, efficacy, or necessity of vaccines in medical school. So your doctor does not know that the HPV vaccine contains, among other things, a known endocrine disruptor thought to cause bowel disease as well as infertility in some mammals—oopsie! (polysorbate 80); a known neurotoxin (aluminum); and a substance that is in pesticides and banned for food use by the FDA (sodium borate). So you called Merck to find out why a banned substance was being injected into our children and they referred you to their legal department. Which did not return your call. Ah well.

But we can pretty much GUARANTEE that your doctor has gotten a free lunch, free swag, and perhaps even an all-expenses-paid trip from pharmaceutical representatives eager to sing the praises of their latest and greatest vaccines.

This is the messaging given to teens—“Just don’t tell your parents!” And you’re all for it. Because, of course, your youngsters should be making medical decisions about everything—vaccines, psychotropic drugs, birth control, abortion, antibiotics, ADHD medication—without telling you or talking to you first.

Say what?

A few months ago an unidentified public health nurse* went into Ashland High School an unidentified school to give a talk to the freshman biology class about infectious diseases. During that talk she told the freshman biology students—14 and 15-year-olds—to “please, please, please get the HPV vaccine,” and not to tell their parents.

Because the HPV virus is very scary. She even showed them pictures.

After she instructed the freshmen not to tell their parents she realized—oh, my!—she had made a mistake.

So she added the words, “Just kidding.”

[*This nurse’s identity is well known in our community, but the aforementioned unidentified high school refused to release her name when baffled parents repeatedly asked for confirmation, choosing to refer to her only as “the speaker.” Because we live in a small town and this nurse’s behavior was inexcusable, even reprehensible, to so many people who live here, we have chosen not to print it here.]

She was representing AshlandChild. Note there is no name or contact information on AshlandChild’s website. This website poses as a site that is “supporting the immunization conversation.” Except the public health nurse in question actually told me that she has no interest in having a conversation with people who are “intractable” (translation: anyone who does not wholeheartedly agree with her. That is, with all of the CDC’s vaccine recommendations).

AshlandChild is interested in “supporting” one conversation, however. A monologue in an echo chamber. That monologue is how best to get every child to have every vaccine on the CDC schedule, regardless of that child’s genetic vulnerabilities, individualized medical needs, or risk of exposure to said infectious diseases. Because, as we have convincingly shown you by now, your child NEEDS the HPV vaccine.

The purpose of AshlandChild is to “remove barriers” to vaccination.

In the case of teenagers, the “barriers” that need to be removed? Thoughtful, well educated parents. Remove ’em or lynch ’em. Take your pick.

Parents ‘distraught’ over delay in getting vaccine documents
Lawyers acting for families who say their children suffered significant health problems following a controversial swine flu vaccine are due in court next month as part an effort to force the State to release crucial documents.
The Health Service Executive (HSE) has now identified 300,000 documents relevant to the case and the Department of Health has 465,000 which need to be examined.

HPV, a DNA virus, cannot cause cancer. For many reasons…..learn more here;http://sanevax.org/hpv-not-cause-cervical-cancer/ – What if HPV does NOT cause cervical cancer?
Does this make the vaccine worthless? Yes
Does this make the CDC and most of the official organs of public health liars? Yes

HIV was a lie as well. And they’ll keep lying until you do your research.http://www.duesberg.com – The genius cancer researcher who blew the whistle on HIV explains in his book and numerous papers why HIV, a harmless retrovirus, can not be the cause of AIDS diseases.

Many millions more people than previously thought might have been given polio vaccine contaminated with a monkey virus linked to cancer.
It has been known since 1960 that early doses of polio vaccine were widely contaminated with simian virus 40, or SV40, which infects macaque monkeys. Tens of millions of people in the US and an unknown number in other countries, including the UK, Australia and the former Soviet Union, may have been exposed prior to 1963.
The contamination occurred because the kidney cells the vaccine virus was grown in came from monkeys infected with SV40. Health officials say the problem was eliminated after 1963.
Now Michele Carbone of Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago has announced results that suggest the Soviet polio vaccine was contaminated after 1963, possibly until the early 1980s. “Is there infectious virus? The short answer is, yes,” Carbone told the Vaccine Cell Substrate Conference 2004 in Rockville, Maryland, last week.
The vaccine was almost certainly used throughout the Soviet bloc and probably exported to China, Japan and several countries in Africa. That means hundreds of millions could have been exposed to SV40 after 1963.

Former employee of Merck, the US company that developed Gardasil, Dr Bernard Dalbergue claimed in a 2014 interview with French magazine Principes de Santé, that the drug was put onto the market too quickly, and calls it a “medical fairy tale”.
He said the vaccine does nothing to prevent cervical cancer and that the “very many adverse effects destroy lives and even kill,” but that its hasty approval for funding in the US and Europe were driven by the profit margins of the manufacturers. He said that Gardasil “will be the biggest medical scandal of all time”.

As for the dent the vaccine may make, a mainstream study to determine whether an HPV vaccine would be “cost effective” approximated that the vaccine might be able to save 1300 lives over the course of these children’s lives.”

That’s Indonesia. Lives saved in Indonesia is simply not an argument for HPV vaccines in developed countries. My vaccinating or not vaccinating my children against HPV is going to have zero effect on lives lost due to cervical cancer in Indonesia.

By the way, Indonesia could save the majority of those lives as easily by instituting regular Pap tests (which, by the way, are still necessary for someone who receives the vaccine).

Again, those lives could as easily be saved by the practice of Pap tests, which carry NO risks of long-term immune system damage and those death rates will in no way be affected by whether or not the average American 11 or 12-year-old gets this vaccine.

And, frankly, I don’t care in the least whether it bothers YOU that we post articles filled with TRUTH about the actual risks vs. benefits of vaccination of any type. Our mission is to help people stay healthy, and we believe in giving them accurate information in order to do so. If you wish to start a website where you can extol the possible benefits of HPV vaccines while ignoring all the risks, by all means do so. But given our assessment of the risks vs. benefits of this vaccine in an industrialized society, we are perfectly happy to DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM USING THIS VACCINE.

Edited to add, I’m a little bemused by the idea that you think that statistics about Indonesia should “sway me” from providing accurate information about the risks to the population that this vaccine is currently being pushed upon. Personally, I find it disgusting that you would use completely inapplicable statistics to bolster your argument for vaccinating kids in industrialized countries.

Again, those lives could as easily be saved by the practice of Pap tests…

Pap smears only have a sensitivity of about 50%. Even if done perfectly, processed correctly, read by experienced pathologists, in conjunction with a well coordinated office staff that can contact patients r.e. results and appropriate follow-up, about 20% of cases are still fatal.

According to Dr. Diane Harper who was responsible for Gardasil clinical trials:

“• No population benefit in reduction of cervical cancer incidence in the United States with HPV vaccination as long as screening continues.
• Incidence rate of cervical cancer in the United States based on screening is 7/100,000 women per year.
• Incidence rate of cervical cancer if women are only vaccinated with Gardasil is 14/100,000 per year (twice the rate of cervical cancer if young women vaccinated with Gardasil do not seek Pap testing at 21 years and the rest of their life).
• Incidence rate of cervical cancer with Cervarix vaccination is 9/100,000 per year— better than with Gardasil, but still more than with screening alone.
• Incidence of cervical cancer without screening and without vaccination is nearly 90/100,000 per year. The combination of HPV vaccine and screening in the U.S. will not decrease the incidence of cervical cancer to any measurable degree at the population level. Those women who do not participate in Pap screening, and who are vaccinated, will have some personal benefit for five years for Gardasil and 7.4 years for Cervarix (maybe longer), but they will not affect the population rates.”

Seems to me the “benefits” of HPV vaccine in a highly screened population are negligible for the average person and the population as a whole. They certainly don’t justify any form of coercion. You want to get the vaccine? Fine. I will defend your right to do so, but I will continue to “discourage others” as often as I can.

She was involved in Phase 2 AND 3 trials, and the mainstream media seemed to think she was perfectly qualified to discuss the facts on what was known about Gardasil as a result of those trials. YOU are entitled to your opinions, but that’s all they are. Diane Harper? Hers carry a hell of a lot more weight.

Ask Diane Harper what evidence she based that on. I can’t speak for her.

The 5% would hardly be shocking since cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the developing world. Here there were approximately 1,685,210 cancers diagnosed in 2016, approximately 31,500 (only 63% of which were types contained in the Gardasil vaccine) of them were due to HPV according to the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/cases.htm, that’s only 1.9%, and I suspect the CDC is estimating high. It’s strikes me as highly unlikely that 70% of oropharynx cancers are caused by HPV. Most of those cancers take a very long time to develop as well, and for the ones that are caused by HPV, whether or not long-term pervasive infection happens is highly dependent upon lifestyle factors.

Nice try. Again, if the vaccine seems at all worthwhile to YOU, by all means have at it, but don’t be surprised if others come up with a different calculation. And if you happen to react badly, like so many others and end up needing to recover from the effects, we’ll be here to help.

I didn’t know you put so much stock in the mainstream media’s opinions.

If I ever run into Diane I’ll be sure to ask her how she determined that vaccinating against the virus that causes the vast majority of cervical cancer wouldn’t decrease the incidence of cervical cancer, and I’d ask her if she knew what incidence meant.

I didn’t say the US incidence of HPV-related cancer was over 5% – I said worldwide. But what is it about even preventing 31,500 cases just in the US every yearthat isn’t getting through to you?

And for decades we thought head & neck cancer was mostly due to smoking and drinking, but now we know it’s mostly due to HPV, especially HPV-16.

And obviously I KNOW you said the incidence was worldwide or I wouldn’t have said you were using statistics from the rest of the world to justify vaccination HERE.

What is it about “preventing 31,500 cases just in the US every year” that isn’t “getting through” to me? How about the fact that there is absolutely no indication that all 31,500 of supposedly HPV-related cancers would, or even could, be prevented by Gardasil or Cervarix? As I noted, many of those cancers are not caused by HPV strains covered by Gardasil or Cervarix in the first place. (And, by the way, the most common cervical cancer strains in African American women are not in them, either. But we don’t hear that unpleasant little fact often, do we?) We are already seeing signs that we are simply replacing the strains that are in the vaccine with other strains that aren’t and may be even more virulent. And we don’t “know” that head and neck cancers are mostly due to HPV. They don’t routinely screen the cancers for HPV. It’s a guess, and a mighty convenient one for an industry determined to convince people that HPV vaccines are God’s gift to creation.

Now I’m going to ask you, what is it about the disabling (if not killing) of many previously athletic young people all over the world in the hopes of staving off a disease that might have developed 30+ years from now, and is generally relatively easy to treat if it did, that isn’t getting through to you?

Jesus Baby , you seem to have overlooked this too .
You realise you are a baby poisoner apologist ? yes ? scoundrel ?

Dr. Dalbergue stated:

I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers.

Oh, no. It’s not nothing, but that doesn’t make it something that HPV vaccines will make a serious dent in. As a matter of fact, the vaccine GAVE a young woman I know a very serious case of cervical cancer when she was given it during the trials. Fortunately, she stopped taking mainstream doctors’ advice because she is alive and well today, which is something they didn’t think possible.

As for the dent the vaccine may make, a mainstream study to determine whether an HPV vaccine would be “cost effective” approximated that the vaccine might be able to save 1300 lives over the course of these children’s lives. Let’s assume that’s about 60 years, so 60 years of vaccinating (and re-vaccinating because all vaccine-induced immunity wanes) would save 1300 of the projected 24,000 lives lost to cervical cancer, or about 0.5%. The study authors determined that would make the vaccine “cost effective,” but they forgot to count in one HUGE cost, the lives of the active young girls (and now boys) that are being destroyed in our zeal to save those 1300.

As always, the argument is far more nuanced than you are led to believe.

According to some HPV has no bearing whatsoever on cervical cancer .
So if so this vaccine is nothing more than a fraud.

Peter Duesberg is one for instance . Diane Harper another .

Gardasil doesnt prevent cervical cancer does it ?
At best, it prevents the precursors to cervical cancer .
But it does cause paralysis with its 750 mcg aluminium payload.
It does cause ovarian and testicular wasting (atrophy) .
It sterilise’s chidren , isnt that right “baby Jesus” ?
It causes death to many too .
Japan withdrew it already ? right BJ ?
Teenage pregnancies have plumetted since it came online , right BJ ?
Because they cannot have children now , can they , BJ ?

Diane Harper doesn’t say that HPV has no bearing on cervical cancer. She says that the VACCINE will have very little effect on the cervical cancer rate (which has actually gone up in the U.S. since the introduction of the vaccine).

Whew! I thought thinking moms had lost their collective minds when I saw the headline and was going to ban you from my inbox after reading your story. I am so glad my initial reaction was so wrong. A beautifully written piece that outlines the madness of vaccines, the HPV vaccine especially. There is NO WAY I will ever let my daughter receive this shot and shame on all the MD’s that promote the lies and propaganda and never give truthful informed consent. Way to go Thinking Moms!
